hey dj, my card is on the way. can u take it out as cash somehow? or does it only work as a debit card?

3/31/2009 10:37:54 PM

yes, but they send the pin number separately. I haven't gotten my pin yet, I should get it tomorrow. but once you get the pin you can withdraw cash from any ATM. I suggest using a credit union ATM because they don't charge withdrawal fees

3/31/2009 10:54:43 PM

you mean a cashpoints atm? or is credit union something different?

3/31/2009 11:05:52 PM

same thing

3/31/2009 11:13:47 PM

o ok. well i faxed my stuff yesterday dje, when u think i'll get my card by?

3/31/2009 11:20:58 PM

It will take them a couple days to process it, but then you will get an e-mail from them saying your account is set up. Once you get that e-mail, you get the card in about a week. In the e-mail they tell you how to log onto your account, check your balance, etc etc.

man I'm gettin' tough questions

4/1/2009 9:56:50 AM

This time of day they are usually homework questions, so yeah they can be pretty tough.

4/1/2009 10:24:05 AM

I'm gonna try this again. Could the following people please shoot me a PM so I can match up your TWW user name with your name on ChaCha? Thanks

4/1/2009 10:35:42 AM

What math terms did you guys use?

Looking for April Fool's Day prank ideas? All you have to do is text PRJ (that stands for prank joke) to ChaCha. (242242). They've got more pranks than you have friends, so keep asking until you find one you like! And best of all, IT'S FREE!

how do you get to the page where you see who is on your team?

click on "my account". when the new page comes up, click on the "Team" tab.

4/1/2009 2:01:33 PM

I just got a 0% accuracy on one of my questions:

Q: What smoke shops are close to the intersection of Scottsdale and Indian school in Phoenix AZ

A: You're in luck! Ford and Haig Tobacconist is just around the corner at 770 E. 5th Ave. Their number is 480-946-0608. ChaCha again!

can anyone see anything glaringly wrong with this? Im still new to this but i dont see anything wrong here. And i am certain that this is the closest smoke shop near this intersection according to google maps. i plan on appealing this.

4/1/2009 2:12:46 PM

Wow I put my advance mathematics term in and I'm getting a lot of those questions!

^Challenge it.

[Edited on April 1, 2009 at 2:20 PM. Reason : ]

4/1/2009 2:12:58 PM

^^ yeah, challenge it. they will reverse it. go back a few pages and I posted the directions for how to challenge a 0%. I have challenged a total of 8 and had all but 1 of them reversed, including one that was actually a wrong answer.

4/1/2009 2:23:15 PM

What do you do when you find a really hard answer, I mean I know you're suppose to get them as close as possible, but can someone give an example.

4/1/2009 2:25:35 PM

if it is really hard, then just don't accept it. but you NEVER want to hit abort unless it is an emergency. abort counts against your completion percentage.

if you get an unanswerable question, or a question that you can't find the answer to then you need to try to get more information that might help the next guide find the answer.

4/1/2009 2:40:17 PM

I'm gettin' a million math questions and tearing them apart. Especially proof level math.


When I get what is 2 plus 2, I just reference an online calculator as the source, hope that's ok

4/1/2009 2:50:29 PM

That's what I've always done. Not to say that's a good thing lol

4/1/2009 2:52:57 PM

yeah didn't you get suspended

I've gotten b2b math questions for the last 30 minutes.


^What are some math terms you listed?

I've been setting up my categories based on advice in this thread, but Ive also had a lot of luck with setting up military categories (listing each branch) and languages. Ive gotten tons of easy questions about military pay/rank/branch etc and a ton of simple translations yesterday and today.

4/1/2009 3:08:27 PM

Tons of kids asking simple math questions....sounds like homework time!

I've gotten 2 plus 2 seven times now.

I've been really busy, and I hate that the money tracker is lagging, because i use that as my stopping point sometimes.

It sucks I've only made 5 bucks this week so far, I'll be on it all night racking up to make my 100.00 for this week.

I did over 1100 searches last week, im thinking of upping my personal goal to 150 or 200 a week, just because usually when i hit 100 I stop, but I could've easily made 200 or 300 last week alone.

yeah, definitely do translations. with all the online translators out there, they are easy as shit to answer

4/1/2009 4:26:01 PM

Yea well I feel like an idiot on this one:

Q: Is it true that if you give up on life, mind body and soul, you can actually die?
A: No. You body will physically live on as long as it remains healthy. ChaCha.

Got a 70% for Citation by citing the ChaCha Conversational Page.. Lame? I think so.

4/1/2009 4:34:44 PM

your grammar was fucked up too though

4/1/2009 5:07:47 PM

I'm back in

4/1/2009 5:17:35 PM

I just gave a COMPLETELY wrong answer. Hope that gets through. I got a question about movie times and I accidentally copied the times for the wrong movie. OOOOOOPS!

4/1/2009 5:22:07 PM

^^why did you get suspended?

Also how come in some of these math questions there will be random U2

can you get docked for declining specialist questions?

4/1/2009 11:19:43 PM

Just finished my readiness test. I felt slow at the time but my avg answer time was probably around 3 minutes when I actually looked at the session time. Outside of that I felt like I did well.

Sample Question and Answer:

what was the louvre originally before it became an art gallery?

"The Louvre was initially built in Paris as a royal fortress. It later became a palace for Philip II, King of France. ChaCha again!"

I need some more peeps on my team! Jrb599 is killin' it on the first day! Anyone else interested?

4/2/2009 2:49:58 AM

I tried this a bit a few months ago...got really tired of having to find a source link for something I knew already (such as the 2+2 thing, or what was the score for the Hurricanes game), or the stupid questions you cant really answer (why is my mom such a bitch?). Might give it another try, but would love to find something I could do while watching TV (I cant do ChaCha and watch TV unless its something Ive seen before, or else I dont know whats going on with what Im watching).

4/2/2009 6:32:51 AM

^^Around 3 o'clock when all the kids want their elementary homework help, BAM!

^When asked why is my mom a bitch I use the dictionary.com def of bitch and for 2+2 I always use google's calculator as a source.

4/2/2009 11:28:04 AM

Travel/Mass Transit and Air Travel pay well

4/2/2009 12:24:27 PM

eh, those could probably take a while.

4/2/2009 12:28:37 PM

I think science questions are up there

4/2/2009 12:34:28 PM

I get those non stop, just thought I add some more when kids aren't doin' their HW.

4/2/2009 12:37:51 PM

Q: How late is Pizzeria712 open in Orem, Utah on Wednesday?

A: Lunch Monday - Friday 11:30 A.M.-3 P.M. Saturday 12 P.M.- 3 P.M. Dinner Monday - Saturday 5 P.M.- 11 P.M. Phone 801.623.6712

I got a 0% accuracy on this...and of course after I dispute it, i'll prolly get some horseshit response as to why I was wrong

4/2/2009 12:59:17 PM

I'll be interested to see mine as I could have quite a few zero's. Some are tough. I was asked how many legos would it take to build the Bank of America building in Atlanta.

4/2/2009 1:05:08 PM

yea thats tough. my initial thought was dimensions of empire state building (lxwxh) for volume divided by the volume of a standard 2x1 lego..but that would take time to find probably. You might have been able to use something like:

http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/58240

where he used 13,000 legos to build a 4ft version of the empire state building.

/shrug im not sure if either of those would have sufficed, especially the second one; I am not sure how picky they are.

4/2/2009 1:21:19 PM

Q: Who sings the song that's called Lucy's Song

4/2/2009 5:09:48 PM

Q: Where is my dog, daisy? She ran away a couple weeks ago and I'm really sad
A: I won't lie to you, she probably found a better family. However, if you put enough food outside she may come back! ChaCha later!
